Gaslighting 101. These Trump sycophants give a masterclass in gaslighting. It's impressive.

Your opinion is that he wants absolute power outside of the Constitutional system, unless you have something to back up that claim?

Because Trump won in 2016, and him losing in 2020, outside of skyrocketing inflation, Afghan debacle, border crisis, etc…, it’s the best thing that could’ve happened. After all, we’re watching Sleepy Joes approval ratings plummet and a lot of folks have realized their mistake. 2022 is going to make for great tv.

“checks and balances of our constitutional system”

Still no link or proof to back up your claim.

Except because Trump yielded the WH and left…and certainly nothing wrong with questioning voters ballots, especially this election.

Link to him repeatedly stating his preference for dictatorship over the checks and balances of our current system?

Link to him saying it would be great think if America could try a dictator for life one day?

Well for one thing no one listens to their complaints, wants. No one cared how they felt about anything because they aren't a minority.

They felt that Trump won and the election was rigged one way or another. There were people who voted that should not have been allowed to yet no one contested them. They felt and believed there should be a recount before the electoral vote was done and final. They think all those people at the borders and the generation of illegal immigrants voted when they registered to or made up factious names, used names of the deceased. That was why I think they rioted the Capital. They believed they were cheated not Trump no not him they believed they were cheated of their votes.

I guess you missed the praise Trump lavished on Xi when he rewrote China's constitution to enable him to remain as dictator for life. Trump loves him some autocracy. He loved Erdogan and Duterte too and praised their regimes of democratic backsliding in both of their countries.

Still haven’t seen any proof to your claims, and perhaps you didn’t read the entire article.
“And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot some day,” Trump added, according to CNN which obtained a recording of what it described as an upbeat, joke-filled speech.”
